Overview
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to address the effect of (Virtual Reality) and (Mirror Therapy) together on upper limb function in hemiplegic Cerebral Palsy children , male or female ranged between 3 to 10 years of age
. The main question of the study is Are there any significant differences between the effects of virtual reality , mirror therapy and the combined effect of both techniques and on upper limb function in hemiplegic CP children?
Participants will be subdevided into three groups A , B ,C Group (A): will receive VR in addition to designed physical therapy program Group (B): will receive MT in addition to designed physical therapy program Group (C): will receive the compound effect of both techniques in addition to designed physical therapy program
